the encients sought for the fountain OF
perpetual youth. They thought if they
could only find anu drink out Of that veil,
the old would become young again, the
sick would be cured, and every body
would have eternal juveneocence. OF
course they cou not find it. Eureka!
have found it! "the water of the we'll Of
Bethleham, whichis by the gate"
I think we had better make bargain
With those who leave US, going out of this
world from time to time, as to whsre we
will meet them. Travellers parting aD-
point place of meeting. They say, owe
will meet at Rome, or we will meet at
Stockholm, or Vienna, or Jerusalem, or
Bethlehem" Now, when we come to
stand by the death pillow OF those who
are leaving us for the far land, do not let
us weep as though we would never see
them again, but let Us, there standing,
appoint o place where we will meet.
Where shall it ne? Snail it be on the
banks of the river? No; the banks are
too long. Shall it be in the temple?
No, no. There is such host there-ten
thousand times ten Thousand. Where
shall we meet our loved 0nesI' Let US
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

But while I stand here there comes g
levulsinn Of feeling when look into your
ey es and know there are souls here dying
of thirst, notwiths anding the well st the
gate. Between them end the well OF
heaven there is great army Of sin, and
though Christ is ready to clear way to

But l am glad to know that you may
come yet. The we'll is here-the well OF
heaven. Come; do not care how feeble
YOU are. Let me take hold of your arm
and steady you up to the well-curb. "Ho,
every one that thirsteth. come" I would
rather via one soul to Christ this morn

and say did not invite him. On, X you
could only just look at my Lord once; il
you could Just see Him full in the face;

OF the services-just come mp behind Him

He found that the older boy had taken OF

younger one, the baby, and then taken CT
